Motorhome washed

Today we had the motorhome washed by Jorge Martinez of Martinez Car Wash. Call 956-563-5154 We had noticed the excellent work he did on one of our walks. He was busy washing several RV's in the RV section of the park. Butch has been wanting to get the roof washed for quite some time and I said he should have it hired out as he is getting of an age when a fall from the roof could be the end. Also, it takes quite a bit out of him these days to do that much hard labor. It was more money to include the roof in the wash but well worth it. $80 with the roof. We plan to call him in the fall to have it done again.

The motorhome is 14 years old this year but still gets mistaken for a new one now and then.

Our South Padre Excursion.

We had planned a week ago to go to South Padre and the day dawned cloudy with extreme fog. But then about 11:00 AM it started to clear so we took the plunge and headed for the coast. It is about 50-60 miles from the park. We were going to eat at Dirty Al's first but we could not find a place to park so we went down to beach access number 9 and went for a walk with the plan to go back to Dirty Al's later and hope it was less busy. We walked about a mile and a half and then returned. It was slightly less busy. Butch had his usual burger and I had the shrimp basket with salad that I have been waiting two years to eat. It was worth the wait and I enjoyed every bite.
Here are the best of the pictures taken.

Sweet Clara is one!



Clara is the only granddaughter of Leo and Keri. Her great-aunt Marlene should give her broom lessons so she can control all those boys.
